Lyrics

DON'T COUNT ON ME

(Verse 1)
If I need ya, I'll call ya, don't wait by the phone
If I want ya, I'll tell ya, I want to be alone
(Chorus)
don't hold your breath, when you're hold'n me
don't love me blind baby, can't you see
don't count on me
(Verse 2)
If I want plans, I'll make them, I'll get up and go
If I need help, I'll ask'ya, you'll be the first to know
(chorus)
don't hold your breath, when you're hold'n me
don't love me blind baby, can't you see
don't count on me ,don't count on me
(Bridge)
You can count your blessings ,count your money, too
but don't count on me, I don't count on you
(Chorus)
don't hold your breath, when you're hold'n me
don't love me blind baby, can't you see
don't count on me ,don't count on me ,don't count on me
(Break)
don't hold your breath, when you're hold'n me
don't love me blind baby, can't you see
don't count on me, don't count on me ,don't count on me
(Verse 3)
I got plans, cause I made them, gotta get up and go
I'm leavin', without you, and now you know
(Chorus)
don't hold your breath,(STOP) when you're hold'n me
don't love me blind baby, can't you see
don't count on me, (SKIP) ,don't count on me
